Moving…

[4u2nvinmtl]

This summer my wife, two sons, and I, are moving into a stand-alone house (renting). Unfortunately the house only has a drive way (long and wide) without a garage, so I’ve come up with a few options to keep my SRT safe/clean.

What would be the best way to store it (considering the factors below) in your opinion? –Can of worms officially opened–

Factors:
· Budget: $2500 upfront or $125 a month
· Rental length: 24moths/2years maximum
· Zoning: Allows any kind of garage/carport
· Note: renting another home is not an option as we are getting a ridiculous deal from family

Options I’ve come up with:
a) Rent a garage from a neighbor (year round protection)
b) Build a winterizable car port
c) Awning (summer) /w Tempo for the winter
d) Car cover (summer) /w Tempo for the winter
e) None of the above, park outside and just hope for the best


*Tempo: is a winterized car tent brand commonly used to protect cars from the ice/snow/cold and is only permitted during winter months

I have seen those large Shed's that Costco advertises, something like 10 by 20. It's an option.

Never paid attention to the price but here is the link it is pricey, at least to me but maybe worth it.

davidc thanks for the idea but it's a bit over budget. I’m also not sure how it would hold up to winter (we get 3-5 feet of snowfall that doesn’t melt, and the reviews were shady at best).

I guess is back to parking at a garage next door. It feels more James Bond that way anyway.

Where you from in AZ? I grew up in a small town called Tubac (nothing like Montreal, Canada lol)…

4u2nvinmtl- Guess this isn't the time to mention that orangepeel removal, oops, sorry....

DO NOT PUT A COVER ON IT. Period. You'll mar it up and want to take off more clear.

You gonna drive the SRT in the winter? I'd just garage it somewhere (where you can also detail) during nasty weather and drive something that I wouldn't mind leaving outside when necessary. Did that for ages before getting the current house/shop setup; I rented/owned off-site garages since I was a teenage kid so my good stuff would be safe during the winter and I'd have a place to store/detail stuff. Didn't get the at-home shop until I was 40.
